Part 4 –  

Using the attached Security Guidelines for General Aviation Airport Operators and Users, prepare a security inspection checklist which contains a minimum of 25 questions for a security auditor to consider.  Security questions should take the form of a yes/no question which indicates compliance or non-compliance with the security measure.  For example, “Do flight schools limit student pilot access to aircraft keys?”  or “Do airport identifications include a unique identification number?”

In reality, a comprehensive checklist would have many hundreds of questions, but you only need to prepare a checklist which has at least 25 questions.

You may choose to create your security inspection checklist in either MS Excel or MS Word.
